Fr. Ben’s Message:
Last weekend’s celebrations went well, not
flawless but well. Congratulations again to our
First Communicants, parents and Catechists.
Thank you, to the Pastoral Council for their
wonderful Mass and dinner for all the ministers
of the parish.
This week:
3 short readings, 3 simple messages
1. Faith is open to all nations.
2. God will bring suffering and death to an end.
3. Love one another as God loves us.
These messages are simple but the “Nike” part
becomes more difficult. Loving as God loves; a
love shown in service and sacrifice as we “just do
it.”
Who are examples of love in your life? Reflect on
them, pray for them, and if still alive thank them.
Peace and all good,
Fr. Ben

Notas del Padre Ben:
Las celebraciones del fin de semana pasado estuvieron
bien, no perfectas pero bien. Felicidades otra vez a
nuestra primera comunión, los padres y catequistas.
Gracias, al Consejo Pastoral por su maravillosa Misa
y cena para todos los ministros de la parroquia.
Esta semana:
3 lecturas cortas con 3 mensajes simples
1. Fe está disponible a todas las Naciones.
2. Dios pondrá fin al sufrimiento y a la muerte.
3. Améis unos a otros como Dios nos ama.
Estos mensajes son simples pero la parte de "Nike" es
más difícil. Amar como Dios ama, un amor en servicio
y sacrificio, "Acabamos de hacerlo."
